| Subject: Degenerate Marxists from all over the Americas meet in Mexico to study the lessons of the Communist International Wed Dec 04, 2019 2:54 am | |
| On 28 November, the opening rally of the 4th Panamerican School of the IMT was held at the Trotsky House Museum in Mexico City (click here for a full report on the three-day event). Gabriela Pérez, director of the museum, spoke in front of an international audience and welcomed the school. Following this, Ubaldo Oropeza, leader of Izquierda Socialista (the IMT in Mexico), opened the school in front of an auditorium of around 80 attendees from different countries in North, Central, and South America, as well as some from Europe. The opening theme was The Communist International, 100 years after its foundation, which was introduced by Alessandro Giardiello, leader of the Italian section of the IMT, Sinistra Classe Rivoluzione. Alessandro explained how the Second International was lost. In its leadership, little by little, after Engels' death, it turned to reformism, then degenerated. They accepted the consequences of leaving the fight against capitalism to such an extent that they would end up supporting the imperialist war. Leer español | The Italian-born Marxist continued to explain how Lenin would declare the Second International dead as a revolutionary organisation and how efforts were made to build a new international, such as the conference in Zimmerwald, which, despite its confusion and heterogeneity, was a step forward to break with social chauvinism. When the October Revolution broke out, it became the axis and centre of the revolutionary struggle. With his April Theses, Lenin reoriented a party that, in his absence, had proposed merging with the Mensheviks.
